How to Make Creamy Egg and Yogurt Bowl
- Start by bringing a small pot of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Carefully add the egg to the simmering water and cook for about 6-7 minutes for a soft-cooked yolk. Adjust the time if you prefer a firmer yolk.
- While the egg cooks, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and breadcrumbs, stirring frequently until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and season with a pinch of salt.
- Once the egg is done, transfer it to a bowl of ice water for 1-2 minutes to stop the cooking process. Gently peel the egg and set it aside.
- In a serving bowl, add the Greek yogurt, spreading it out to create a bed for the egg.
- Top the yogurt with the soft-cooked egg, allowing the yolk to rest in the center.
- Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the egg and yogurt. Finish with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if using.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy egg and yogurt bowl!
